Remote sessions and therapeutic approach
Mary combines Client-Centered principles with structured therapies in online formats. Client-Centered Therapy provides a space for individuals to explore meaning and values while the therapist listens and responds with empathy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills. These approaches can be used together to support both insight and practical change.
For those working through difficult memories or reactions to past events, Trauma-Focused and Narrative Therapy help process experiences and reframe personal stories. Solution-Focused Therapy is offered for individuals who prefer short-term, goal-oriented work that concentrates on strengths and immediate next steps. Mary describes collaboration as a shared process of setting goals, choosing suitable techniques, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing individuals to continue therapeutic work through the communication methods that fit their daily lives.
